Abstract

A suspension device has a base plate ( 11 ) intended to be fastened to a wall and two rods ( 15, 16 ) fastened on the base plate with the ends pointing towards one another. The rods have end knobs ( 17, 18 ) and one end knob ( 18 ) is spring-loaded to rest against the end knob of the other rod. Using a closed loop, a snare is made around the object that is to be hung up and then the loop is pressed in between the ends of the rods so that the loop remains hanging on one rod. The cord can simply be pulled loose by pulling it out between the end knobs when it is desired to detach the object

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. Suspension device with a base plate ( 11 ) intended to be fastened to a surface, and suspension fixtures ( 15 ,  16 ) fastened on the base plate, wherein the suspension fixtures consist of first and second rods ( 15 ,  16 ) fastened on the base plate pointing towards one another, wherein said first rod ( 16 ) has an end knob ( 18 ) that has a cylindrical blind hole into which the rod is inserted and a spring ( 19 ) in the blind hole between the bottom of the hole and the end of the rod, so that the end knob of said first rod directly abuts and is tensioned against an end ( 17 ) of the second rod, and the end knob ( 18 ) of the first rod and the end ( 17 ) of the second rod have an initial angle in relation to one another such that a narrow object that is pressed against respective contact surfaces of the end knob of the first rod and the end of the second rod will displace the end knob of the first rod so that the object can pass into a gap between the contact surfaces. 
     
     
       2. Suspension device according to  claim 1 , wherein the end of the second rod has an end knob ( 17 ) without a spring disposed therein. 
     
     
       3. Suspension device according to  claim 1 , wherein both of said first and second rods ( 15 ,  16 ) are welded to the base plate ( 11 ) at an angle relative to the base plate and have bends so that the rods are coaxially pointed towards one another. 
     
     
       4. Method of hanging up a tool or other object in a suspension device according to  claim 1 , wherein a snare is made with a closed loop around the object and then the loop is pressed in between the ends of the first and second rods so that the loop remains hanging on one of said first and second rods. 
     
     
       5. Suspension device according to  claim 1 , wherein said narrow object includes a key or key ring. 
     
     
       6. Suspension device according to  claim 1 , wherein said surface to which said suspension device is to be fastened includes a wall. 
     
     
       7. Suspension device according to  claim 2 , wherein both of said first and second rods ( 15 ,  16 ) are welded to the base plate ( 11 ) at an angle relative to the base plate and have bends so that the first and second rods are coaxially pointed towards one another. 
     
     
       8. Suspension device according to  claim 2 , wherein said narrow object includes a key or key ring. 
     
     
       9. Suspension device according to  claim 3 , wherein said narrow object includes a key or key ring. 
     
     
       10. Method of hanging up a tool or other object in a suspension device according to  claim 2 , wherein a snare is made with a closed loop around the object and then the loop is pressed in between the ends of the first and second rods so that the loop remains hanging on one of said first and second rods. 
     
     
       11. Method of hanging up a tool or other object in a suspension device according to  claim 3 , wherein a snare is made with a closed loop around the object and then the loop is pressed in between the ends of the first and second rods so that the loop remains hanging on one of said first and second rods. 
     
     
       12. Method of hanging up a tool or other object in a suspension device according to  claim 5 , wherein a snare is made with a closed loop around the object and then the loop is pressed in between the ends of the first and second rods so that the loop remains hanging on one of said first and second rods.
